Opened from which form?

[John]

In form X I would like to make a button visible/invisible depending on which
form opened form X. For instance: if form X is opened by form A the button
should be visible, otherwise it should be invisible.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance,
John

Set the button's Visible property to No.

Then in the code that opens it from Form A:
Const strcTarget = "Form1" 'Your form name goes here.
DoCmd.OpenForm strcTarget
Forms(strcTarget)!cmd1.Visible = False

If the form is opened in Dialog mode, pass something in OpenArgs, and test
it in Form_Open.

Thanks Allen!
OpenArgs is exactly what I needed.
